Chapter 505: Stop fighting, I am not lying, everything I said is true, sound the air raid alarm quic
Taiyuan Airport, Fujiwara Air Brigade temporary command headquarters.
"Fujiwara-kun, why did you wake me up so early? Is there something wrong?" Colonel Nagata asked with a tired and curious look on his face.
Fujiwara Ichiro replied with full energy: "Nagata-kun, I have something urgent to discuss with you. The weather was clear yesterday and the runway was able to carry out normal takeoffs and landings of fighter planes. However, we have been searching for a long time and have not found the location of the armored regiment. This has seriously delayed the mission of bombing the first fortress."
"I plan to dispatch half of the pilots today to continue the bombing of Fortress No. 1. I have decided that you, Nagata-kun, will lead the team and be responsible for this operation. I will lead the remaining pilots to continue searching for the location of the enemy armored regiment and complete the mission assigned by the headquarters."
"It's already past four in the morning, and it will be daybreak in half an hour. We only need an hour and a half to load the fighter jets with fuel and ammunition so that they can be dispatched on time at 6:30 in the morning. We must seize the initiative. This time the credit is not only for ourselves, but also for our entire army. If we lose in the end, not only will the commander lose face, but even our army will lose face. At that time, we will be severely punished."
Fujiwara Ichiro now has no way out. The struggle between the Army and Navy Air Force is constantly fermenting, and even the headquarters is very concerned about it. Since the implementation of the Navy's southward operation, a large number of results have been achieved, which has caused the Army's voice in the headquarters to drop sharply. In order to change the current unfavorable situation, the Kwantung Army was pushed out to compete at the first opportunity.
However, the Kwantung Army was too disappointing. The previous northward operation failed, so the Kwantung Army had no confidence to launch an attack northward, which made the Japanese navy mock them severely. The Japanese army had no choice but to focus on the Taiyuan battlefield, hoping that the army aviation could make up for the loss and severely dampen the spirit of the navy aviation.
"Fujiwara-kun, you were completely implicated by the cowards of the Kwantung Army this time. In fact, with the current strength of the Kwantung Army, even if it cannot go north to launch a large-scale attack, it is still no problem to carry out small-scale battles. As long as we can achieve some results, it will bring honor to our army. However, the top leaders of the Kwantung Army flatly refused this, which made the Army Department desperate and set its sights on us. Now we have no way out."
"Our fight with General Sato is now a matter of life and death, so we really can't be careless. But with our current strength, it's still very difficult to win. I think we should take the initiative to contact General Tada of the East China Front and ask him to mobilize a batch of fighter planes to enhance our strength. Otherwise, I am very pessimistic about this fight."
Fujiwara Ichiro sighed helplessly, "Even if General Tada wants to support us, I'm afraid he is powerless. During the large-scale mopping-up operation in North China, our imperial army encountered stubborn resistance. It was only with the help of the air force that we broke through the enemy's defense. If General Bidada were to transfer his troops to us at this time, it would bring about a series of chain reactions."
"More importantly, if we can win in the end, it will be fine. If we fail, General Tada will probably be implicated by us and forced to transfer to the reserve force on the mainland. At that time, no one will protect us. This is why General Tada was willing to support one squadron of our fighters before, but I firmly refused. This matter was carried out in secrecy, so Nagata-kun knew nothing about it."
Just as Colonel Nagata was about to speak, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from the distance, which made him feel very strange. There were no fighter planes taking off and landing tonight. Could it be that General Sato was doing something weird again?
"Fujiwara-kun, let's move faster. It seems that General Sato is unwilling to be left out and has started to refuel the engine so early. This is to compete with us. We must not fall behind. We must seize the initiative and let him know that our Fujiwara Air Brigade is not easy to bully."
Fujiwara Ichiro, who had always been very vigilant, did not notice the approach of danger. He had the same idea as Colonel Nagata, thinking that it was all Sato Ichiro's doing. In order not to fall behind, Fujiwara Ichiro immediately issued an order to refuel the fighter plane and planned to dispatch half an hour in advance to prevent Sato Ichiro from getting ahead.
The noisy sounds in the airport masked the noise of the engines of Li Yunlong's assault force. In order not to be discovered by the Japanese in advance, all the vehicles did not turn on the lights, but took advantage of the cover of night to quickly approach the direction of the Japanese airport.
The Matsumoto Battalion, which was responsible for the defense of the airport, deployed more than a dozen searchlights outside the airport, shining them back and forth outside the airport. The Japanese soldiers on guard duty also looked outside from time to time. They were attracted by the movement in the airport just now. They had seen such scenes many times, but they were still very curious and talked about it in twos and threes.
Kojiro Nojima was on duty today. He had always been a loner and was often bullied in the camp, which made him even more timid. He had just discovered something was wrong and told his companions about it. Instead of getting a compliment, he was severely beaten.
"I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me? There must be enemies approaching. How could such a big noise be caused by the transport team?" Nojima Kojiro roared angrily in his heart, but no one took his words seriously. For safety reasons, he took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and rushed to the air raid alarm room little by little, preparing to secretly sound the air raid alarm.
Ichiro Kurokawa, who was about to go out to relieve himself, saw Kojiro Nojima sneaking towards the air raid alarm room. He suddenly pounced on him, knocked him to the ground, and started beating him up with his fists and kicks, making Kojiro Nojima scream and beg for mercy.
"Stop fighting! Stop now! I really wasn't lying just now. There really is an enemy approaching us. We must quickly notify the captain and sound the air defense alarm. If the enemy succeeds in a sneak attack, none of us will survive. We will most likely be sent to the most tragic battlefield and used as cannon fodder!"
Kojiro Nojima finished his words in one breath, then lay on the ground resigned to his fate, deciding not to protect his body anymore and letting Ichiro Kurokawa beat him as he pleased. He really had enough and thought that this was a good thing, maybe he could use this opportunity to return to his hometown.
Ichiro Kurokawa stopped beating people. He knew that Kojiro Nojima was a coward and would never take the huge risk to do something stupid. Not only would he be severely punished, but even his family back home would be despised. This kid missed his family the most and would never harm them. Now he was willing to tell the truth even at the risk of being beaten to death. It seemed that what he said was very likely to be true.
"Nojima, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong? The noise outside really wasn't coming from the transport team. If you're wrong, it won't be as simple as a beating. You will be severely punished, and your family will be disgraced because of you!"
Nojima Kojiro endured the pain and replied firmly: "What I just said is true. I have never lied. Please believe me. Sound the air raid alarm quickly. It will be too late if you delay any longer. My ears are very sensitive and I can clearly hear the difference in the sound. I can confirm the sound of the vehicle engine outside. I have never heard it before."
Kurokawa Ichiro lifted up Nojima Kojiro from the ground and took him to the air defense alarm room. When Li Yunlong's troops were only three miles away from Taiyuan Airport, the air defense alarm was urgently sounded. The shrill air defense alarm sounded over Taiyuan Airport, causing confusion among the Japanese soldiers on guard, and a large number of searchlights swept outside.
"Damn it! Who sounded the air raid alarm? There is clearly no enemy outside. Find this bastard immediately and I will punish him severely!" The captain of the garrison squadron, Fujimizu Ichiro, roared angrily.
Ichiro Matsumoto, who was sleeping soundly, heard the shrill air defense alarm outside, and immediately got up from the bed, quickly left the bedroom, and rushed to the operations room. The ground crew who were refueling the fighter plane on the runway of the airport also panicked. They shouted frantically, and more than 20 refueling trucks parked at the airport were mobilized immediately and rushed to the fighter plane. They needed to refuel the fighter plane in a very short time to get it into the air to get rid of the impending danger.
There was also a panic in the pilots' dormitory. One by one, the pilots got up from their beds, quickly put on their flight suits, and rushed to the airport runway outside.
The anti-aircraft artillery battalion acted without any delay as in the past. The Japanese soldiers who had escaped immediately came back, and the anti-aircraft guns began to have their gun covers removed. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers even ran to the ammunition depot. They had to carry out a batch of anti-aircraft ammunition in the shortest possible time for use in the next battle.
The air defense alarm also affected Ichiro Sato and Ichiro Fujita. They quickly rushed to the combat command room and ordered the pilots to prepare for the attack. At the same time, they immediately arranged for people to find out what had happened and why the danger had not been reported until now.
The two culprits were soon caught, and the shrill air defense alarm stopped. Kurokawa Ichiro and Nojima Kojiro were brought in front of Fujisui Ichiro. Seeing the two stubborn men, Fujisui Ichiro could no longer suppress his anger. He was about to beat them up before questioning them, but Kurokawa Ichiro spoke first: "Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy's attack is about to come. Let the warriors prepare for epidemic prevention. It will be too late!"
